Expect medium difficulty. Small components and crew figures require steady hands and fine brushes. Prior experience with 1/35 subjects helps with fit and finish.
Use enamel or acrylic paints in dark olive, weathering washes and matt varnish for authenticity. Hobby knife, fine files, tweezers and thin cement make assembly easier.
Yes. The low profile of the Maiale suits shallow water or harbor dioramas. Seal paint layers and use suitable water effects to portray surface operations.
